Denver Nuggets

After taking care of the Los Angeles Clippers, 90-87, last Monday night, the Memphis Grizzlies had quietly recorded the 3rd best record in the NBA this season at 42-16 (72.4%), just behind the 47-12 Atlanta Hawks and the 45-11 Golden State Warriors. In that hotly contested game, Chris Paul powered the Clippers on both ends [...]

Kenneth Faried is not a go-to player. No, that’s not new. Everyone knows this. Even Denver Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw, who had some weird things to stay while discussing the Manimal’s regression this season. From The Denver Post‘s Mark Kiszla: “There are a lot of players out there that feel like they’re better than [...]

Goodbye, All-Star discussion and NBA trade deadline. Hello, playoff race. It’s that time of year again. The focus is on the playoffs and various position-jockeying that’s going on. This week we have a lot of movement to cover, from the Blazers’ slump, to the Spurs’ mounting cankers, to the Thunder’s improbable surge, to the Sixers [...]

Stand up, folks. Stretch. Bend. Flex. Make old-folk noises. The NBA trade deadline is finally upon us. This implies two things: First, real, live basketball is about to begin again. Fist-pump it up. Second, the rumors are flowing like vodka and tequila and gin and rum and whiskey during J.R. Smith’s weekend-long vacation from the city of Cleveland. Navigating those [...]

Let us toast the Sacramento Kings for always staying aggressive no matter what. George Karl was officially introduced as Sacramento’s new head coach on Tuesday, so that was a pretty big deal. Also a big deal: The Kings are interested in trading for Arron Afflalo of the Denver Nuggets. Per Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher: [tweet [...]

Oh. Em. Gee. In a totally sensible, and therefore unforeseen, twist of events, the Denver Nuggets may be willing to trade Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried. This is not to say they are actively shopping them, though. Grantland’s Zach Lowe explains: he more interesting questions surround Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried. Denver isn’t shopping those [...]

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s off to the 2015 NBA All-Star Game we go. Okay, so, I’m pretty sure “heigh-ho” refers to yawning or disappointment, but screw it. I wanted to both rhyme and write “heigh-ho,” so let’s just pretend. Anyway, the NBA is speeding toward its All-Star break, leaving a trail of injuries, playoff-seeding battles and [...]

If your favorite NBA team is going to strip the Denver Nuggets of one of their best trade assets, it’s going to cost them. The Nuggets kinda, sorta took a step toward blowing their roster up when they traded Timofey Mozgov to the Cleveland Cavaliers for two first-round picks. But with guys like Wilson Chandler [...]

Avoiding NBA power rankings is for chumps, so come on in. There’s plenty to talk about this week. The Warriors and Hawks are still playing in a league of their own; the Grizzlies look like fortuitous demigods; the Hornets and Pistons are making a mockery of the Eastern Conference’s race for the final two playoff spots; [...]

Here we go again. !#$%^&*&^%$#@! Not two weeks ago, we talked about the Denver Nuggets being interested in Brook Lopez. It was weird on the Nuggets’ part. Yours truly was incensed to an extent, wondering what the hell Denver was doing. Without context, it made little sense for the Nets, too. Who would the Nuggets [...]
